Kernel Collaborative,
named for the fertile center of a seed, is a print magazine that uplifts voices speaking on the raw power of love and care and joy. We thrive on your submissions of art, poetry, fiction, articles, essays, how-to guides, and comics.
We believe that genuine goodness is a cornerstone of the revolution, that kindness is a beautiful act of subversion, that celebration of the marginalized is a battlecry, and that the acts of care and resistance are often one and the same.
Our goal is to amplify creators who are fighting the good fight. Toppling evil only gets you so far without a foundation of love to rebuild upon. Kernel Collaborative is a fertile space where that love can put down roots.
Care as Resistance!
Celebration as Battlecry!
Kindness as Subversion!
Love as Power!

We want your creations for our first issue!
Kernel is concocted from the art and writing of our community. Whether you have the perfect project that you haven't figured out what to do with yet, or feel inspired to create something just for us, we want to see your work!
Submission deadline: August 31, 2026
Your help is appreciated!
Kernel is not designed to make money, but alas, money is required for making cool stuff (and we are definitely doing that). If you are able, your donations will go directly to production costs and other expenses that keep us viable.
